An hour ago, when the Fukushima army had just taken advantage of the darkness of night to break into the southern town and was massively attacking and killing the clan of Anayama, Jingzhen had just returned to the camp after patrolling the terrain downstream, and everyone had also completed the main order assigned by the party, and gathered again in the Jingzhen tent to deliberate.

Now that the situation is clear, the Fukushima Army has undoubtedly launched a successful surprise attack on the Anayama clan, and even the most optimistic Nagasaka Nobumasa cannot hold out hope for the latter. In the face of severe pressure, the opinions of several people were divided, Nagasaka Nobumasa proposed to immediately gather troops to support the Anayama clan, Naito Masatoyo proposed to quickly raise the earth and refuse to wait for reinforcements on the spot, Yokota Takamatsu proposed that the whole army be transferred to Kitajumo and join forces with the Ganri clan to meet the enemy, and Mibuchi Fuji proposed to return directly to the defense of the Tsugasaki Pavilion. Faced with this situation, Jingzhen unexpectedly did not express any opinions, but sat on the main seat thoughtfully, outside the wandering objects, watching several people quarrel. After a long argument, everyone seemed to be aware of Jingzhen's existence, and they leaned down to the ground and asked him to make a final decision.

"My lord, Koga Shinobu has an urgent military situation to send!" At this moment, the attendant suddenly came in and reported.

"Let him in." Jing Zhen rolled his eyes and regained his vitality. Then he stood up and nodded to the crowd: "Listen to it first!" ”

"How's it going, have you made inquiries?" Jingzhen asked.

"My lord, it's already clear. Everything is a ploy of the Imagawa clan's military advisor Taiyuan Xuesai! Two days ago, the 5,000-strong Fukushima Army, led by Captain Fukushima Saemon, left Takatenjin Castle by sea, and after attrition along the way, more than 4,000 troops finally landed at the mouth of the Fuji River this evening. The unprepared Anayama people suddenly fell into floating Adachi (chaos), His Royal Highness Sano, His Royal Highness Oi and other important ministers were killed in battle, and His Royal Highness Izu Mamoru retreated in the direction of Shimoyama Castle under the cover of a desperate death. At present, the Fukushima Army has basically finished cleaning the battlefield and is preparing to continue its march north overnight. ”

"Do you think it's enough to defeat the Cave Mountain Crowd, you don't take us and others seriously at all......" Jing Zhen shook her head, the expression on her face was very strange and difficult to understand.

"Through close listening, it seems that after the war, the enemy leaders had an argument, and the military advisor Taiyuan Yukisai left the army and went to Asai Shrine on his own, and Captain Fukushima Saemon forced himself to continue the march despite his dissuasion." Ninja continued to report.

"It's finally here...... Jing Zhen sighed, and his expression immediately turned to incomparable perseverance. He shouted violently, "Get up, get up for me!" Jiulang, blow the conch in the camp! ”

In the silence of the night, with the deep whimper of the conch, the entire military camp was immediately in a hurry, and the lights in the tents were lit up one after another.

"Jingzhen, what's wrong?"

Hearing Jingzhen's shout, the crane, who had already moved to the barracks in the past few days, immediately walked out of the tent next to him in neat clothes, which showed that he had been worried and sleepless.

"It's nothing, I'm going to go into battle...... Jingzhen turned around and said softly to the crane, "Crane, take my feet and swords and guns!" ”

"......" Crane quickly came out with a bunch of weapons of all sizes, silently helped Jingzhen put on his equipment and carry a sword, and finally handed over the riding spear after he turned over and got on his horse.

"Everyone carries a sack and prepares to go into battle!"

"Changfeng, you escort the crane and the old and young in the collar to evacuate, and then gather the remaining labor to go to Oshima to make peace with us!" Jingzhen commanded, the horses drove towards the gate of the camp, behind them were Nagasaka Nobumasa, Mibuchi Fuji and Yokota Takamatsu, who were closely following, and a short array composed of more than 100 foot cavalry, and the others who were about to meet were Fukushima Sukeharu's male soldiers who claimed to be 5,000 troops......

"I want to come here and stay in a non-permanent place

Like dew to a blade of grass, the shadow of the moon hangs upside down in the water and is fleeting

Tell those who dance flowers and make the moon, and there will be impermanence at the front end of the glory

Before the bright moon in the south building, there were promising clouds hidden

Fifty years of life is like a dream compared to the dwellers of the heavens

There is no such thing as immortality in a lifetime

Come to think of it, this is a foregone conclusion

It must be the seed of Bodhi, even if it is regretted, it cannot be changed (the fact that Dunsheng is dead)

Now I am in a hurry to go to Beijing

Seeing the head of Dunsheng hanging high above the city gate, I was worried

And they stole it from the prison door

After I return

Willing to be a monk

Pray for the blessings of the fire of impermanence."

When the three armies marched out of a hundred meters, the melodious and mournful female voice sounded from behind, and everyone stopped to look back, only to see one of the moonlight, the crane was dressed in a plain smock, beating the small drum, while singing "Dunsheng". Although Mibuchi Fuji, Naito Masatoyo, Yokota Takamatsu and others are all Genji, they are also familiar with the famous passages in this "Lucky Dance", with the tragedy of never returning, drenched in the gradually fine night rain, and also hummed along with the song.

"Report! The Fukushima Army has broken through Mashino Castle, and all the defenders from His Royal Highness Mashino Left Guard down to Mashino have been killed. Counting the losses in the southern towns, the Fukushima Army should have been reduced to less than 3,000 men! ”

"Report! The defenders retreated without a fight, and the Fukushima army set fire to it and did not stop more, and continued to march north! ”

"Report! Our ninjas raided the Fukushima Army, killing the first three members of the Ashigaru group, seriously wounding one of the generals, and losing three of them! The Fukushima Army is still advancing! ”

"Report! Our ninjas used the roasted jade to attack the Fukushima army, causing a riot in their front army, and half an hour later, the Fukushima army calmed down the chaos and started marching again, and all five arsonists were killed! ”

……

As the two armies of Keizada and Fukushima moved closer and closer to each other, the news sent by the Koga people became more and more frequent along the way. Seeing that the ninjas were dressed differently and were scarred by the same scars each time, Jingzhen only became more and more silent and urged the whole army to speed up, and finally arrived at Oshima in front of the Fukushima army.

Oshima is a long, high, wide stone platform and a narrow river in the middle of the Hyakuri Fuji River, the narrowest of which is only about 10 steps. March is the time when the snow begins to melt, and the Mt. Fuji River, which is already fast-flowing, roars and waves here. Under the order of Jingzhen, more than 100 people did not care to stop as soon as they arrived, each took out the sack, loaded the stone on the spot, shouted the number of one, two, three, and threw the sack into the narrowest part of the river, instantly sealing the turbulent castration.

As the water level gradually rose to the stone platform, the stone dam was crumbling, but finally withstood the pressure, and when the river overflowed the stone platform, it became gentle due to the expansion of the river channel, and flowed quietly between the legs of the people, Jing Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, when Jingzhen and Naito Masatoyo reconnoitred the terrain earlier, they saw this tall and wide stone platform and the turbulent narrow river, and they instantly thought of the old incident of Guan Yu, a famous general in the Three Kingdoms period, who was drowned in the Forbidden Seventh Army, and prepared to follow Guan Erye's example to send a water dragon bomb to the Fukushima Army. Now, the dam has finally been built before the arrival of the Fukushima Army, and the most crucial step has finally been completed.

After a moment of completion of the stone dam, Koga Shinobu came to meet him again and reported the latest movements of the Fukushima Army.

"Your Highness! The Fukushima Army is in front! The first hand was about 1,000 people led by Captain Fukushima Saemon himself, and it was less than three miles away from here! ”

"What about Baiyun Zhai? Why didn't you see it! Is it because of the previous negligence that you dare not meet me in person?"

"Your Excellency, he has done his duty to His Highness!" When the ninja heard this, he quickly knelt down and reported.

"What!"

"The previous omission of the monitoring of the sea side by the High Heavenly God City led to the fiasco of the Anayama clan and the collapse of the situation, and the leader has always felt deeply guilty, and he has long intended to atone for his sins with death. When he heard the news of His Highness's attack, the leader decided to go all out to delay the Fukushima Army's march and buy time for His Highness to find out the enemy's situation. Gambling on the lives of all our Jiahe people, we must also wash away the shame of the past! ”

"Therefore, the leader personally led the remaining ninjas to carry out seven surprise attacks on the Fukushima army, and he still insisted on wandering after being wounded by dozens of wounds, and the last time he desperately injured the right arm of Fukushima Saemon Lieutenant, and then was cut into meat sauce by his personal guards."

"Before the next time I came back to report the news, the last three companions had already rushed into the enemy line and launched the last assassination, and I should have no luck at this moment."

“……”

Jing Zhen carefully looked at the ninja, and saw that his night clothes had been torn everywhere, constantly oozing blood, and although a long knife mark between his chest and abdomen had been simply bandaged, it was still bright red. Meeting Jingzhen's silent gaze, the ninja smiled with relief:

"As a ninja...... Even if you sacrifice everything, you must complete the task, that is both a rule and an enlightenment, and Your Highness does not have to worry about it! If His Highness has no other life, he will die with his companions! ”

"Is the mission everything? Then the people of Koga listen to the order! ”

"Hay!"

"I order you, wait for the Fukushima Army to enter our 500 meters and then report back!"

"Hay!"

"Also, live well, in the name of Tono Baiyunzhai, rebuild the Koga Ninja Army of the family!"

"Your Highness!"

"It's a mission! Are you going to die and let the Koga people perish with their unfinished tasks? ”

“…… Subordinate, obey! ”

"Let's do it together, knock down the stone dam!"

When Koga Shinobu turned back for the last time, the light of the fire also happened to turn into everyone's field of vision along the downstream, and Jingzhen did not hesitate to give the order, and everyone immediately pushed the trees that had already been cut down and smashed them towards the already fragile stone dam.

Suddenly, twice, with a loud bang, the stone dam finally collapsed under double pressure, and the water that had been stored for two hours turned into a raging wild horse mixed with the wreckage and trees of the stone dam downstream. The firelight downstream was suddenly extinguished, and exclamations, wails, and shouts followed randomly.

"Kuro!"

"Big brother!" Nobumasa Nagasaka bowed down immediately and agreed.

"We once defeated Saito Toshizuna's nearly 1,000 troops in Mino with a gun array of less than 100 people. Now! Let everyone in Kai see the martial arts of you and me! ”

"Yes!"

"Takamatsu!"

"The last general!"

"When the gun array tears through the enemy formation, the cavalry team immediately charges!"

"Yes!"

After arranging the array, Jing Zhen raised his pistol violently, turned to the people behind him, looked at the faces that were either confused, worried, or excited, and shouted at the highest volume:

"Ladies and gentlemen! You can know that a hundred meters ahead, it is the Imagawa Army and the Fukushima Army that have plundered our fields many times, burned down our homes, and slaughtered our relatives and friends! In the past, we were unarmed, so we could only flee with all our might, and watched our parents, wives and children, and our hometown and cottage fall into hell! Now, with our knives and guns in hand, do we still want to let our parents, wives and children, and hometown farms continue to flee for our lives! ”

"Don't! No! No! ”

"Good! His Royal Highness Izu Mamoru has led the army to slaughter the enemy, and with the impact of the Fuji River, the remaining enemies are already vulnerable!

"Entrust me with your lives! Destroy the Fukushima chop with me! ”

"Wow!"

Following the stormy waves of the Fuji River, the storm of the Sadajun finally descended on Oshima!

Not far ahead, the Fukushima Army, which had been staggered by the flash flood, struggled to get up, barely lined up in several columns, and was smashed almost instantly in front of the recuperating and emotionally charged gun array.

Before the ashigaru could recover from the fierceness of the last battle, the horror of the raids along the way, the exhaustion of the overnight raid, and the fear of the torrential floods, they were pricked like wheat, crying, shouting, being stabbed by the spears of the Keizada's side, and then trampled under their feet, then the second, third, and fourth rows...... Many of the ashigaru who had narrowly escaped with their lives immediately turned and fled backwards, intent on staying away from the oncoming wind and the nightmarish array of guns. Under their charge, Fukushima Sukeharu's entire army was in chaos and completely out of control.

Suddenly, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves was heard, and it was Yokota Takamatsu's cavalry attacking. Even the raging wind seemed to be unable to suppress their cries. Clothed in rain, rain and night, they cut through the Fukushima military line like a hot knife cutting butter, and then abandoned their guns and knives one after another, slashing and slashing all the enemies around them with great vigour. The ashigaru who broke away from the array fell under their swords one by one.

One blow, two blows, three blows, just like a group of ferocious combination punches fell in succession, and the Fukushima Army, which had already been exhausted and overwhelmed by casualties, could no longer support it, and finally took advantage of the situation to break up, just like the previous demonstration of the Cave Mountain People, lost their helmets and abandoned their soldiers, and fled south in embarrassment!

"Don't run! Move closer to me! Hold on to your formation! For the glory of the Fukushima clan! ”

In the rout that receded like a tide, Fukushima Sukeharu roared with his hair and red eyes, while leading the last dozen diehards to go upstream, and from time to time the rout stopped and merged into the flag, if a reef surfaced at low tide, trying to reveal the last grandeur.

"The well-planned plan has obviously succeeded, and the strongest cave mountain people have obviously retreated, but in just two or three hours, such a good situation has been lost here because of a flash flood and a hundred and ten soldiers and horses? It was the same ten years ago, His Royal Highness Kamishosuke (Fukushima Masasei) came out with the elite of the Ju clan, and so was the majestic and invincible tens of thousands of military horses, and they were inexplicably defeated at the hands of Takeda Shintora! Could it be that the Mandate of Heaven is really irreversible, and the family can't win the Takeda clan even once! ”

Fukushima Sukeharu thought weakly, and suddenly shook his head, laughing at his momentary weakness. "I lost today, but Bennosuke (Hojo Tsunari is a young name, see Chapter 44 Remarks) is ten times more talented than me, and the Fukushima clan will never admit defeat! Today, let's take a good look at the enlightenment of the Fukushima samurai! ”

Thinking of this, he tried to lift his spirits, split the defeated soldiers in front of him, and shouted:

"Who leads! Dare to fight face to face with my Fukushima Saemon Captain Sukeharu! ”

The next moment, a young player with a huge skeleton and extremely strong body, but whose face was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, had already jumped on his horse and rushed towards him. This person has a high top and a broad forehead, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a full body of Zhu Yan. Fukushima Sukeharu had obviously never seen this person, but for some reason, he looked at the other party's eyes like lightning, and he had already realized that this person must be the enemy's main general!

A rush of blood came up, Fukushima Sukeharu did not retreat but advanced, dragged a three-gun from his side, roared, and fought hard to catch up!

But in the blink of an eye, the second general was the first to catch up, and the young general first gritted his teeth and struggled to swing away Fukushima Sukeharu's thicker three guns with his riding gun, and then actually let go, threw away the spear, and slightly opened his right arm to press Fukushima Sukeharu's spear with his shoulder!

When the two horses intersected, Fukushima Sukeharu felt that his gun suddenly sank, and his right arm, which was desperately injured by Naga Shinobu before, was even more painful, and he couldn't use his strength at all, so he was ready to turn his body sideways and use his horsepower to regain the spear. Unexpectedly, the young man on the opposite side did not move his right arm, and directly grabbed Fukushima Sukeharu's entire waist along the spear, and then he roared and pulled out...... It was like pulling out the Imagawa general, who was decades older than him, from his war horse!

Fukushima Sukeharu was in the air, losing his strength, and only felt frightened to death, but he didn't have time to think about it at all, he felt like a cloud of mist, and was thrown out by the other party entirely, and then fell alive on the gun array behind him, and there was no longer consciousness .......

"Captain Fukushima Saemon was taken by my Niko Keizada!" The young man swung his horse forward and cut off Fukushima Sukeharu's head, raised it high and shouted.

Hearing this shout, all the scufflers turned their heads.

"Hey! Hi! Hi ——! Seeing that his own commander was begging for the enemy's general general, the troops on the Jingzhen side shouted in unison, and their morale increased greatly.

The nearby Fukushima Army was stunned, one by one lost their souls, as if they had lost all their will to fight, and even the diehards who had followed Fukushima to resist before also dropped their weapons and turned around and began to flee for their lives.

In this battle, Jingzhen defeated more than 3,000 Fukushima troops with more than 100 people, and killed a large number of Fukushima clan backbones from the general Fukushima Sukeharu. In terms of the disparity in troops, it surpasses the miracle created by Takeda Shintora ten years ago!
